I suggest you ask some Iraqis if they think it was worth the number of lost lives that we should fight the terrorists there. Is certainly wasn't better for them that we fight terrorists from around the world in their country.

I don't read anywhere in the Constitution that freedom of speech comes with responsibility. I would hope that people would choose to be responsible in their speech, but it isn't a requirement. And the right extends to all citizens, even actors. We don't have to agree with them or respect their opinion any more than we would someone else's. And it isn't just actors who have retarded opinions about our country, it's regular everyday people as well. They are free to say the stupidest things based on their uneducated opinions all the time. As it should be.
There is no dishonor in seeking to bring to light and change some of the things that we have gotten wrong. To blindly support the actions and policies of this country doesn't make one a patriot, it actually harms our country. Because believe it or not, we make mistakes. I wonder if your opinion about questioning our government was the same during the Clinton impeachment.
